UGA blog finds new home

Morning all. As I’ve said a couple of times this week, we’re converting this blog over to a WordPress platform and it will be a permanent move the first of next week.

Those of you who are regulars probably know that I’m not what you’d call techno-wizard when it comes to these things. But from what I understand the technology offered in this new format should make the blogging and commenting experience better for all. Of course, I’ll be learning as we go along, too. But I’m hoping to provide more pictures and video and things like that which should bring the blog more to life.

Of course, this blog is nothing without all you guys so I want to heartily invite (read: beg) you to come over to the new site by CLICKING HERE ON THE NEW ADDRESS and save it in your browsers. As of Monday, Feb. 23rd, this will be the permanent home of the UGA blog you so love or, in the case of some of you, love to loathe. If you’d prefer to copy and paste or just memorize, the new address is: http://blogs.ajc.com/uga-sports-blog/.

See at the new place!

Did Richt recruit well?

All right, we know what the so-called recruiting experts think, but what do you guys think about Georgia’s 2007 football recruiting class?

My own newspaper rated the Bulldogs’ class 17th in the nation, four spots behind Georgia Tech and fourth out of the six teams in the SEC’s Eastern Division.

‘Bout right? Bullmalarky?

Those of you who visit here regularly know what my feelings on recruiting rankings are. In my opinion, there are no more useless ratings in all of sports.

How could you compare Auburn’s class of 30 to Miami’s class of 17. How can you compare a five-star tailback in southern California to a five-star tailback in north Florida that plays in a different classification of schools? I mean it’s ludicrous really.

But then, so are preseason football rankings. We do it because readers love it and it generates interest.

I’m interested in finding out how fans feel about it.

Now don’t just discount them because Georgia wasn’t in the top five or even the top 10 this year (supposedly).

Now I’ve got to admit, I think Georgia may be getting a little shortchanged with all the linemen. The Bulldogs needed offensive linemen and literally signed a ton of them. Now that’s position-heavy in any year but, the truth is, they really didn’t need immediate help anywhere else.

So have at it. I’ll weigh in every chance I get.
